iPad cases: find the one compatible with your model
Find cases for iPad (A16), iPad Air and iPad Pro in different colours, textures and finishes. At Vivaldo you can choose from faux leather folio cases, woven designs, crocodile-effect, suede-effect, fabric and teddy fleece finishes to protect and personalise your iPad.
Always check the exact model of your iPad before buying. iPad cases are not universal, and two iPads with a similar screen size may have different dimensions, cameras and button positions. Find the Axxxx model number and compare it with the compatible options listed for each product.
How to choose a case compatible with your iPad
Compatibility is one of the most important things to check when buying an iPad case. Apple has used different sizes, designs and camera and button layouts across generations of iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad mini.
For this reason, choosing only by screen size is not always enough.
Before placing your order:
- Identify which iPad you have: iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro or iPad mini.
- Find the Axxxx model number.
- Compare that reference with the compatible models listed at Vivaldo.
- Select the matching option before adding the case to your cart.
How to find out which iPad model you have
To find the right case, the most practical option is to locate your iPad model number. This reference begins with the letter A followed by four digits, for example A2696, A2902 or A3354.
Look for the Axxxx number on the back of your iPad
Turn your iPad over and check the information on the back. Look for the Axxxx model number and compare it with the compatible references shown in the options of Vivaldo's iPad cases.
If it is not shown or you cannot find it, check Settings
If you cannot find the number on the back, go to Settings > General > About and check your iPad's model details.
When choosing a case at Vivaldo, use the Axxxx reference whenever possible, as it helps tell apart models with similar names or screen sizes that may need different cases.
Cases for iPad and iPad (A16)
At Vivaldo you will find cases for the standard iPad from different generations, including the iPad (A16). Although several generations may have a similar screen size, you should not assume they use the same case.
For example, the references A3354, A3355 and A3356 correspond to variants of the iPad (A16). Before buying, check the Axxxx of your device and select the compatible option shown on the product.
iPad Air cases
iPad Air cases are available for different generations and sizes, including 10.9-inch, 11-inch and 13-inch models depending on the compatibility of each product.
An iPad Air case for one generation will not necessarily fit another generation or an iPad Pro of the same size. The safest way to choose is to compare the Axxxx number of your device.
iPad Pro cases
You can also find iPad Pro cases compatible with different generations and sizes, including 11-inch and 12.9-inch models among the available options.
Dimensions, the camera module and other design elements can change between generations. So always check the compatible reference before choosing an iPad Pro case.
iPad mini cases
The iPad mini has different dimensions from the rest of the iPad range and needs a case specific to its model. If your case includes an iPad mini option, check the Axxxx number before selecting it.
Do not choose a case only by the family name or the screen size: always use the compatible reference shown on the product page.
Will an 11-inch case fit any 11-inch iPad?
No. Screen size alone does not guarantee compatibility. Two iPads advertised with a similar size can have different external dimensions, cameras, buttons or cut-outs.
This is especially the case between different generations of iPad Air and iPad Pro. To avoid mistakes, identify the Axxxx model first and compare it with the case option.
Folio cases for iPad
The cases in this collection mainly use a folio design, with a front cover that protects the screen when the iPad is not in use and that can be folded to allow different viewing positions depending on the design.
The multi-position stand is handy for watching content, making video calls, reading, writing or working with the iPad without having to hold it all the time.
Specific features can vary between designs and models, so we recommend always checking the product page before buying.
Designs, colours and textures to personalise your iPad
As well as protecting the device during daily use, a case lets you completely change the look of your iPad. At Vivaldo you will find different styles and finishes that are updated as the collection evolves.
- Faux leather cases: elegant, easy-to-match finishes for everyday use.
- Crocodile-effect cases: a more pronounced, eye-catching texture available in different colours.
- Woven and fabric cases: designs with a texture inspired by interlaced finishes.
- Suede-effect cases: soft-looking surfaces for a more understated finish.
- Teddy fleece cases: soft-touch options for those looking for a more original design.
Colours, textures and compatible models may vary depending on the product and availability.
What does an iPad case protect?
A folio case covers the back, the sides and the screen of the iPad when closed, helping to protect the device from scratches, scuffs, marks and the minor knocks of everyday use.
A case should not be considered a guarantee against serious drops or heavy impacts. The level of coverage can vary depending on the design and the iPad model, so it is worth checking the specific features of each product.
Do the cases include an Apple Pencil holder?
Apple Pencil compatibility and the space available for it can vary depending on the case design and the iPad model. If you use an Apple Pencil regularly, check the product photos and features to see whether the case you have chosen has a specific area for storing or using it.
It is also important to check that your iPad model is compatible with the generation of Apple Pencil you use.
How to choose between different iPad cases
Once you have checked compatibility, you can choose the case based on how you use your iPad and the style you prefer.
If you use your iPad to watch videos, study or work, a folio design with a multi-position stand can be especially practical. If design is your priority, you can choose from different colours, textures and finishes, while still checking compatibility with your model first.
Frequently asked questions about iPad cases
Are iPad cases universal?
No. Cases are designed for specific iPad models. Dimensions, cameras, buttons and other elements can change between generations, even when the screen size is similar.
How do I know which case my iPad needs?
Look for the Axxxx model number on the back of your iPad and compare it with the compatible references listed on the product page. If you cannot find it, go to Settings > General > About to check your device details.
Will an 11-inch case fit any 11-inch iPad?
Not necessarily. The inches indicate the approximate screen size, but they do not guarantee that the body of the device, the cameras or the buttons are positioned the same way. Always check the Axxxx model.
Will an iPad Air case fit an iPad Pro?
You should not assume they are compatible even if they have a similar screen size. Only use a case whose option explicitly includes your iPad's model number.
Where can I find my iPad's Axxxx number?
You can usually find it on the back of the device. If it is not shown or you cannot read it, check Settings > General > About.
Do the cases have a stand for the iPad?
The folio cases in this collection can include a folding cover that lets you use the iPad in different positions. Check the features of each design to confirm the specific functions.
Do the cases have space for an Apple Pencil?
It depends on the model and the design of the case. Check the product photos and specifications to confirm whether it includes a specific area for the Apple Pencil.
Does a case protect the iPad from drops?
A case can help against scratches, scuffs, marks and minor everyday knocks, but it does not guarantee that the iPad will be protected from a serious drop or heavy impact.
